Hauling Art

Frank Castiglione - Tuesday, June 23, 2009 - 7:52pm

I need to get my stuff to the upcoming art festival in Munising so I loaded Zeldabob's roof. I have three sculptures and two stands on the roof. The larger stand is 7'4" tall. There are six smaller stands on the back seat. I'll need to make two trips, but it'll all get there on or in Zeldabob.

Oversize flags?

Frank, quite the load there. Looks like you could use a pick up or a trailer. Aren't you afraid of damaging your work?

Damage

Frank Castiglione - Wednesday, June 24, 2009 - 9:25am

Hi Warren,
Everything gets tied down firmly, but nothing is forced.The Eagle is mounted on a special rack.The heron needs his legs spread once he arrives. All the stands are triangulated and quite strong.Zeldabob is on her last leg but can still hold around 400 pounds on the custom rack that attaches to the weld seems. Its only a ten mile trip to town. It does look bizarre though,eh?

Hi Frank, Hey that`s about

Hi Frank,
Hey that`s about one of the best U-haul I`ve seen, but I`ve seen some do worse, don`t ask me who, LOL. Very creative Frank, just take it easy so you, the car, or the sculptures don`t get scratched. Good luck on the exibition. Nelson.

Scratches

Frank Castiglione - Thursday, June 25, 2009 - 2:55am

Hi Nelson,
Zeldabob is in the twilight of her career. I had to literally make new rear strut towers, because of the corrosion from fourteen years of salted winter roads.There are hundreds of scratches and dings(scars of honor), the car is pretty bad too (ha ha ha). I hope to build a replacement vehicle ( Art Truck/Trailer)in the near future.Imagine a huge birdcage on wheels.....
Good news, Argentina and the USA are going to reinstate ambassadors.

Frank, Sorry, but you

NELSON - Friday, June 26, 2009 - 12:12pm

Frank,
Sorry, but you brought it up. Ok brief though, almost simultaneously, Venezuela and USA did the same thing. Coincidence or concordance? There`s a cancer affecting a few countries down in S.America, you may guess who`s behind those moves. Radical surgery may just be the way out to disease...back to topic, let us know about your trip and show.Good luck, Nelson.
